WHAT ARE THE WEIGHT RESTRICTIONS?

For Cessna 172SP Skyhawk, all three passengers combined cannot weigh more than 500 lb. 

WHAT ARE YOUR OPERATING HOURS?

I am tentatively scheduled to fly once per week from May - Oct year around, except for holidays. The winter months can be some of the smoothest flying through the year. The Airplane is heated so you can enjoy the flights during the winter months.

WHEN DOES THE SUNSET TOUR AND NIGHT TOUR BEGIN?

It depends on the time of the year. In January the sunset tour begins at 4pm and night tours will start from 5pm. In August the Sunset tours will begin at 7pm and the night tours will start from 8pm. ​

DO WE NEED TO TIP THE PILOT?

Tips are the greatly appreciated, but not expected. ​

​IS THERE AN AGE RESTRICTION?

We require all passengers to be able to sit in a seat without the need of a booster or a child car seat. We recommend that all passengers are at least 5 years or older– mostly because of the noise. ​

what is the cost of a flight?

A flight fee is the combination of aircraft rental fee(fuel and tax inclusive), landing fee, parking fee, and pre-heating fee(optional for winter flights). Most of Airports in MA waived landing fee for small aircrafts. Parking fee is around $15 - $30 contingent to location. 

Aircraft rental fee is charging by engine hour, that says, aircraft idle on the ground won't cost a penny. Aircraft Rental fee various by aircraft type. Cessna 172 G1000 normally cost $210/engine hour. Cessna 182 cost $260/engine hour.  

Fee is split among passengers.
